DOJ’s Civil Division backstabs Trump in his fight to keep aliens from voting
The Department of Justice’s Civil Division is sabotaging the president’s efforts to keep foreign citizens from interfering in American elections. Criminal lawyers at the Department of Justice recently charged 16 aliens in seven states for illegally registering and voting in American elections. Yet inexplicably at almost the same time, the Civil Division denied that states have the constitutional right to verify citizenship status and eligibility of registered voters in its response to a lawsuit filed by Louisiana.
TL;DR
- The DOJ's Civil Division is reportedly undermining the president's efforts to prevent foreign citizens from interfering in elections.
- Criminal lawyers at the DOJ charged 16 non-citizens in seven states for illegal registration and voting.
- Simultaneously, the Civil Division denied states the constitutional right to verify voter citizenship status in a lawsuit response.
- The Trump administration has actively worked to deter and prosecute aliens for voting.
- Critics' claims notwithstanding, evidence suggests thousands of non-citizens are registered and voting nationwide.
